The book was initially titled "Dead Cold" in reference to the chilling atmosphere and wintry setting of the story.

Critics praised her ability to create complex characters, masterfully woven plotlines, and atmospheric settings. The novel's exploration of human nature, themes of redemption and forgiveness, and Penny's immersive storytelling captivated readers and garnered critical acclaim within the genre.
